Azoteq IQS7221E ProxFusion® Sensor IC

Azoteq IQS7221E ProxFusion® Sensor IC is a fusion device with an on-axis orientation designed for rotation and angle sensing applications. This sensor IC includes a ProxFusion channel for integrated UI applications, quadrature output to replace product drop-in, and virtual freewheel UI for more intuitive scrolling. The IQS7221E sensor IC operates from a 2V to 3.5V voltage range. This sensor IC is available in WLCSP18 (1.62mm x 1.62mm x 0.5mm) and QFN20 (3mm x 3mm x 0.5mm) packages. Typical applications include scroll wheels for computer peripherals, mechanical and optical rotary encoder replacements, adjustable knobs, mouse wheels, and motor encoders.
